November 2014 Group Watch: New Majority Leader of Senate
Senator Greg Reed of Jasper is the new majority leader of the Alabama Senate. Newly elected members of the Senate met and re-elected Senator Del Marsh of Anniston as Pro Tem and elected Greg Reed as majority leader. Reed replaces Senator Jabo Waggoner of Vestavia Hills (Birmingham). Waggoner recommended Reed for the job because he wants to devote more of his time to the Rules Committee and Confirmation Committee. Waggoner chairs both of these powerful committees in the Senate. Reed voiced excitement about leading the largest Republican majority in the state in modern times.
